Kaladesh IRL

Hi ! Since we are currently planewalking through one of the most incredible plane ever with Kaladesh, i thought i could share a french project currently going on with you. A word of warning though : i'm not a native english-speaker so excuse the weird phrasing here and there.
So, the projet is called "Les Machines de Nantes" (Nantes being a french city) and it consist in completely crazy inventors giving life to the most amazing and breathtaking machines you'll certainly ever see. Very kaladesh-like isnt-it ?

The machines have that "steampunk" feel to them and are just really beautiful. Here is a little one.

They all are animals, expect for the big project i'll talk about later.

A fully-animated caterpillar.

And here is the big one ! This is their elephant and it's pretty much the thing you want to see when you go to Nantes. It's gigantic ! So much so that you can bring your entire family and sit on the back of it for a ride. All the parts are animated : it moves his head, ears, trunk, and even the legs replicate movement when he moves forward.

Just look at the size of that thing... The wood-metal alliance on their work is stunning too.

Here you can see him throwing water at people. Yep, he can do that too !

This one is a favorite of mine. It looks like an MMO mount that came to life. I just LOVE the design, and again it can support THREE PEOPLE on it.

Another incredible creature, in a slightly different style.

And when you're an engineer on this project, you simply have to ask yourself the question : "Why not making these fly?!". This is a héron. It's pretty impressive by himself BUT it comes with a muuuch bigger project.
